About Coach
My name is Thor Parrish. I am the founder and owner of Thunder Performance, a CrossFit affiliate built with the mission of improving the health and fitness of as many people as possible across Southwest Florida. CrossFit has been part of my life since I was a kid and is deeply ingrained in my family and the relationships I value most. My wife and I own the gym together, our daughter has been raised here, and over time, Thunder Performance has truly become an extension of our family. I love competing in CrossFit and staying actively involved in the community. I participate in local competitions and complete the CrossFit Open every single year. One of my favorite claims to fame is being known as the world’s fittest PGA professional. My other professional passion is golf, where I work extensively with junior athletes to help them build long-term systems that allow them to play the game for life. Health, fitness, and movement are at the core of those systems, which makes the integration of Thunder Performance and my golf coaching incredibly meaningful.
Turning Point
Fitness is invaluable, and unfortunately a limiting factor for many people’s enjoyment of life. Crossfit introduced me to a lifestyle and fitness methodology so I know I never have to worry about my inability to express myself physically and the demands I put on my body. Longevity if fitness is difficult so community is important and the community Crossfit creates keeps me accountable for my long-term goals.
Motivation & Passion
As a new dad, I am also passionate about helping fathers use fitness to become better parents and stronger role models for their kids. I believe that showing up consistently, taking care of your health, and living an active lifestyle creates a powerful example that extends far beyond the gym.
